[quote=Anonymous]Council member Jawando has put forth an amendment to the county’s ban the box law that forbids employers from asking about criminal records until after they interview the candidate for a job. His amendment extends it to small businesses with fewer than 15 employees. This is a concept that’s well-intended. But there is no real data to support effectiveness; and some studies that show actual harm to job candidates of color. Since the county is doing racial equity impact analyses of bills and budgets, this should get an analysis to see if it’s truly effective in montgomery county, or whether it disproportionately hurts prospective job candidates of color. Make them put their data where their mouth is. Please write in to demand a racial equity impact analysis.
